Weeeeelllll. I ordinarily prefer reading transcripts. I have a feeling that any "media" moments will be on loop.

Zuckerberg on not Facebook selling data, my piece points out why that is a red herring as far as Facebook is concerned. It collects and hoards data, and sells not data but *us* and *our attention*—it is in Facebook's interests not to sell data.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/09/opinion/zuckerberg-testify-congress.html …

Anyone gonna ask about the newsfeed algorithm? Guess not.

Got my sympathy moment for Zuckerberg's honest answer to whether he can assure Senators that every last ad/content from Russia is off the platform. Not only is that not realistic, honesty wish there was more focus on the domestic conditions that fueled the online manipulation.

The questions almost all start good—staffers briefed them well—and then devolve into misunderstandings. So telling. This is failure of us as media and tech press and pundits, and obfuscation and complexity as practiced by Facebook—indeed, most of tech.

Business interests vs. human interests. When history of all this is written, Myanmar will be a piece that won’t be ignored. Some of this *is* complex. That was an egregious shrugging of responsibility. They should have made it a giant priority in 2013.https://twitter.com/rafiqcopeland/status/983865814334849024 …

Or—Myanmar is the one issue I think about most. Introducing virality to an ethnically-tense situation with few counter-balancing institutions is potent. Not a game. We have billions more coming online.

I'm half-expecting Zuckerberg to break into a song today... "You don't understand what power is... You don't understand what glory is..."

Zuckerberg keeps saying that you have control over what other people you share stuff with on Facebook. Sure. THE QUESTION IS HOW WE KEEP FACEBOOK FROM COLLECTING DATA ON US. Facebook tracks us online, offline, on and off the platform, cross-device and even BUYS external data.

He did a pretty good job pronouncing it! Also, few know the correct pronunciation, so no baseline, no worries.
(FWIW it's T-ew-f-ah-k-chee or T-oo-f-ah-k-chee. The u is like the French ü, and the k is hard k and the c is actually ç so ch sound.)https://twitter.com/george_sass/status/984082371367628801 …Show this thread -
Aah, she was just asking about computational inference and external data, and Zuck is dodging and talking about pictures you take and "we don't sell your data" dog-and-pony show. Facebook track us, uses data + algorithms to infer things about us, and then sells that as targeting!

That last answer: everything Facebook has on you is available on the download to which Zuckerberg said "yes": really? I don't think the data they purchase on you or the data from tracking pixels etc. is on there.
